edmunds TESTED
The 2023 Chevrolet Suburban has a smooth ride and simply massive cargo space, plus heaps of available technology. You can also choose from a trio of powerful engines. There is no getting around its size, however, and the price tag on higher trims can be off-putting.

Diesel Suburban - Best SUV Yet!
5 out of 5 starsVIN Diesel, 03/15/2022
2022 Chevrolet Suburban LT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
We purchased a 2022 Diesel Suburban; it's been everything we expected and more. Very roomy, comfortable, yet handles more like a mid-sized SUV instead of the large BEAST it is. Diesel is the way to go too; great mileage, we're getting around 22 - 25 in mixed town driving, and closer to 30 on the freeway at about 75MPH. I expect it to get better as we get more miles on it and when … summer blended diesel fuel is available, still winter here in Michigan and the "winter blend" is still being sold a the pump; slightly less BTU's in the winder blend to keep it from gelling in cold weather.
An absolutely outstanding vehicle with nicer performance, comfort, power and amazing fuel economy. NOTE: Diesel was not an option in the selection, but this one is the 3.0 Straight 6 Diesel.
Nervous….. But thrilled.

2022 Chevrolet Suburban RST 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
I’ll be honest. We’re a Honda family. For years & years we have purchased nothing but Honda for the reliability, comfort & fuel economy. However, we now possess the need to tow, and Honda didn’t have a viable V8 option. After extensive research on large 3 row SUVs. We decided on the Suburban. For the 75k price tag, I admit, it could have more to set itself apart from the competition…. I … mean, no LED brake lights?? Come on Chevy.
With this being said, this SUV is awesome, we just turned over 18,000 miles, and I am blown away. Fit & finish is spectacular, and they really had a family in mind when crafting these SUVs. Driving it is pure fun, the roar of the engine along with its cloud like maneuverability are incredible. I will also add, the Bose audio surround sound is mesmerizing, far & away the best speaker system I’ve ever had.
Why am I nervous? Reliability - reliability - reliability. After reading about others experiences with their 2021 model year Suburbans I am terrified. I do have the 100k mile bumper to bumper extended warranty. But lifter failures, leaks, suspension issues all appear to plague the 21’ - I am just hoping we got the good of the bunch, and they worked out issues for 22. We will have to see I guess. 9.5/10 EXCELLENT SUV for those who need a family hauler, as well as a tow machine, and want to do it with class.
UPDATE: The only repair we have had is our windshield wiper motors went out @15,000 miles. Other than that it has been an incredibly solid SUV!
Get the diesel!

2022 Chevrolet Suburban RST 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Just took delivery of our 2022 Suburban RST 4WD with the 3.0L Duramax diesel (Edmunds didn’t show option to select this engine for my review). New for this year is a 12” digital instrument cluster which can be customized many different ways.
We love the sheer size and roominess of this vehicle. Have only put a couple hundred miles on it so far but already average 26 MPG highway. For a … vehicle this size the diesel is a no-brainer and it comes with the same torque as the 6.2L gas V8.
Diesel Burban, I love it, but...

2022 Chevrolet Suburban Premier 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
I do want to love this Suburban. We bought the 3.0 baby Duramax. Sadly the thing is possessed. The dealership has no idea what's wrong. So $80K later, I'm never quite sure what will work and what won't each time I drive it. Heated seats just turn on high, and you can't turn them off. Infotainment system doesn't work about every 3rd time you get in it. The driver's mirror randomly … rotates down (option for reverse that I have turned off). Dash goes black, another random occurrence thing. Front braking sensor goes off at nothing. Side mirror sensors also go off at nothing. Hard shift into 3rd gear, also randomly. Now we just disconnect the battery when more than 3 random oddities happen consistently. Seems to last about 5-6000 miles. Sadly thinking I may have to trade it, since GM has no idea why it's happening or what to do about it.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban, so we've included reviews for other years of the Suburban since its last redesign.
